From the old wild wild wild wild… west.
Not quite running out of space on the hard drives…. But… I have been dithering on what to do about the amount of files on my photograph drive. I have all the raw shots mixed with the jpg mixed with the edited shots. Not a good mix either. I have decided the best route.. and probably the most painful is to move all the jpg's into their own files and the raw into its own file. The edits will stay with the jpg's so I don't have to remember where the shot came from. This should ease up a lot of space on my drives. So.. shuffling is going to be going on. If Raid systems were cheaper I would get a 10 terabyte raid. 5 2tb drives.. and set it up to mirror or be rebuild-able if a drive failed. Waiting for them to get cheaper. Until then I have been mirroring external drives. It takes a while this way but its the safest way as drives are bound to die around the 4 year mark.
Right now there are very good deals on drives. You can get a 3.5 external 3 Tb drive for 130 dollars and 2 Tb smaller cased drives for 100 dollars.. They even have 4 Tb out there. Its super cheap. Though running these sizes you really need a computer with 3.0 USB ports so you can transfer, search and edit faster than pokey 2.0 USB standard. Most motherboards have 3.0 and 2.0 ports. And hubs are reasonable too if you need more ports than your PC has. Most have no speed degradation. Check Amazon out. I price matched between Amazon and Best Buy and right now its cheaper from Amazon even with shipping two day. You have to keep a sharp eye out because sometimes Best Buy is cheaper. Not often but sometimes.
Here is what I was messing with this evening.
Just a few Motel signs on Route 66 / Central. Not all but a few. Too bad the sky was clear.
Ree Local Calls!
Family Units.
That a way.
Hmm.. Hourly?
Sign only The rest of the motel is gone.
We did a big cross country trip when I was a kid.. Another story.
And the obvious linking…
Awesome-er!!!
Sad but heartening tale. I liked Dick York.
I like this idea. How bound putting it underground.. not deep.. just under and build parks and houses and such above.
Huh… huh… huh….
Storage.. no cables… wool… not too bad.. and some other stuff..
Hah!… I say HAH! Been past there… done all the things and out the other side.. well almost…
Not mentioned in this is … one.. Baby poop is a weapon of mass distinction. Snot Suckers…. Collick! Teething. Lifestyle changes are amazing. What is bad is when people have children and they don't change. They stay self centered. They expect everyone else to watch their child, They don't feed them or feed them well. They leave them alone. They do not connect danger and location. They don't think that that child can hear and will remember much of what happens to them even at that young age. Oh.. and discipline. You have a choice.. make and enforce your rules or you will have a rule less uncontrolled adult child. I love my kids. They turned out great. Some rough edges but hay.. I still have rough edges. One. I cannot believe how lazy I am when I am slightly under the weather ( which seems to be always now ). Oh.. and everything aches! Why is it that now it aches.. or is it before I would stop aching at some point so I forgot about. The pain. Oh I could go on…..
